UNITED has co-ordinated an international refugee campaign since several years, which consists of two complimentary parts:

• Protesting against the restrictive asylum and migration policies, that are often referred to as "Fortress Europe": especially focusing attention on the deaths of already 13.250 people who tried to find a safe haven in Europe.
• Promoting a safe environment for refugees and asylum seekers where they do not have to fear racism and intolerance.
